“Three Rows a Penny pins!”
A Bed Matt [mat] or a Door Matt!
Buy a fine Table Basket?
Ha, ha, Poor Jack!
Can hardly be called a London cry: the call of a well-known character, who, accompanied by his wife, sold fish.
“Buy a fine Singing Bird?”
Buy a fine singing Bird?
Buy any wax or wafers?
Fine Writeing Ink!
A Right Merry Song!
Old Shoes for some Broomes!
Hott baked Wardens [stewed pears] Hott!
Small Coale!
Swift mentions this cry in his “Morning in Town.”
“The Small Coal Man was heard with cadence deep
Till drowned in shriller notes of ‘Chimney Sweep.’”
